数年ぶりにTOEIC受けてきました。
なんとでました。問題に「ディテール」が！！
「Mとの4日間」のディテールを書こうと思った矢先、こんなところでディテール（detail）に出くわしましたわ。
問題文は詳しく覚えてないけど、空欄補充問題で「detail」なのか「details」なのかですっごい迷って、帰ったら調べんとと思いつつ、緊迫の2時間を過ごしました。
久々の試験疲れましたー。。。
家帰ったら、あまりの脳の疲労ぶりにちょっと昼寝をしようと思ったら、なんと3時間も寝てしまったわ。ひょえー、疲れすぎですがな。
さて、疑問点、私が一番信頼しているアルクの辞書（オンライン）を調べたら以下のように書いてある。
detail 【名】 〔全体｛ぜんたい｝を構成｛こうせい｝する一部分｛いちぶぶん｝の要素｛ようそ｝の〕詳細｛しょうさい｝、細部｛さいぶ｝、細目｛さいもく｝ ・This page will give you some details of the information on locomotives. : このページでは機関車に関する情報の詳細がいくつかご覧になれます。 〔全体｛ぜんたい｝を構成｛こうせい｝する個々｛ここ｝の要素｛ようそ｝の〕一つ一つ、あらゆる点 ・I paid a careful attention to detail of mundane events to write about quiet village life. : 穏やかな村の生活を本にするために日常生活の一部始終を注視しました。 〔全体｛ぜんたい｝を構成｛こうせい｝するすべての要素｛ようそ｝の集合｛しゅうごう｝としての〕詳細｛しょうさい｝、全体｛ぜんたい｝ ・I need more detail of the proposal. : その提案全体の詳細を知る必要がある。
ちょっと、だからどう使い分けるのよー。誰か教えてー。また知恵熱出ちゃいます。
って、「Mとの4日間」のディテールはどうなったのよお、と突っ込みどころ満載の記事ですが、
3時間も昼寝したくせにまだ眠いので、それはまた今度。。。(。・ε・`。) ぷ。
